charge. Witnesses for the prosecu.
ton swore that on Saturday evening
the doctors cow was driven by them

swere that he locked Her in, and in
the morning the lock was broken
and the cow taken out. One witness
saw some one with a lantern go to
the pound at night and drive a cow
away. The doctor swore he did not
know anything about the matter at
all. His cow was securely fastened
in the yard when lie MIXED on SatuI-
day evening, and Sunday morning
she was still there, and he had no
knowledge of her having been cut of
the yard during the night. The first he
knew about the matter at all was
when he was charged with breaking
open the pound. His wife ,orrobor.
ated his testimony, adding that there
was no lantern about the house that
could be used. The doctor was fined
Eve dollars and costs.

Paint Your Roof.

j. A. Nelson & Son are in town
painting roof, with what is known
Us Excelsior State Paint. 1t is thor
oughly durable, and is applied with
equally good effect to either tin or
shingles. 1t will wear for years,
and possesses peculiar preservative
qualities. 1t has stood the test
roots having withstood the element
for a degree and even fifteen
years without showing any
wear. It is what is needed for
preserving new shingles. and applied
to old it will last as long as new
roof. 1t will not discolor nor faint
water when once dried, and will re-
pay tenfold. Another valuable fea.
ture ia the fact that 10 is flreproof.
The roof of the HERALD building
las been painted with it, and after
careful investigation of its merits
we recommend it to all, Examine it
carefully and you will be convinced.

He laid upon the board a complete
statement of the objects and purpose
OF his visit, the plans of the COM
pany, its methods Of doing business,
its profits during the first three
years in Detroit, an estimate of what
could be done here, and a specific
proposition for factory here. Sub.
stantialiy this plan is to organize
stock company here on the basis of a
capital of $4,000, of which two
fifths shall be taken by Messrs. Morse
and Frisbie, the patentee, they pay.
ing therefor in the patents under
which the goods shall be made. OF
the remaining $4,000, only thirty
per cent. would be required to pur.
chase a plant which would employ
from fifty to sixty hands, of whom
fiftytweuld be men, the remainder
being boys and young women. Upon
this basis the company would dis
burse weekly in wages and material
about six hundred dollars, all of
which would remain at home. He
dem onstrated that the profits would
be large, while the goods would find
ready market in st. Paul and Mime
apolis and at points west, northwest
southwest, but that the company
could compete successfully with east
ern manufacturers in the Chicago
market.
The timber used is principally ash,
Eastwood and pine. Butter tubs,
candy and tobacco pals. paint buck.
cts, jelly pails-in short all classes of
wooden ware of this character could
be profitably made. The gnods are
treated with an imprevious lining
made under patent, which renders
them perfectly imprevious to water,
oil, alcohol or other liquids.
After discussing the matter in de
tail the board referred the matter to
the special committee consisting of
Messrs. Robbins, Moore, Capser, KelIs
and Sprague, with whom Mr.. Morse
should confer, to see what could be
done in the matter.
Mr.. Morse has xamined the Hoople
building and is satisfied it would make
an admirable factory, and could be
adapted to the purpose very readily,
and at small expense. 1t has abund.
ant power, and would be all that
would be required for the present.
